Authorities say 44-year-old Iris Gamble of Linden submitted a claim with the One Fund Boston, saying she was injured during the April 15 blasts and wanted money from the fund.

Gamble said she was treated for injuries at a Newark, N.J., hospital.

But irregularities in her paperwork, including misspellings, led officials to believe the claim was a fake.

"Our investigation revealed that the defendant was not in Boston on the day of the bombings," said Union County Prosecutor Grace Park. "The defendant wasted little time in trying to profit from the generosity and kindness of others."

Gamble is charged with attempted theft by deception, fraud and creating fraudulent documents.

She's due in court in Elizabeth on Aug. 16.

Gamble is the third person charged with attempting to defraud the One Fund Boston.

Audrea Gause, 26, of Troy, N.Y., was charged with fraudulently receiving almost a half-million dollars by falsely claiming a brain injury from the attack.

Branden Mattier, 22, of Boston was also arrested last month after he signed for a fake $2.2 million check, when a Massachusetts State Police Trooper posing as a FedEx employee delivered it to him.

Authorities said he claimed his dead aunt lost both her legs in the attacks.

No phone listing could be found for Gamble, and prosecutors said they didn't know if she had an attorney.
